History – Clark’s Mill was an early mill constructed in the late 1700s and operated into the 1870s. It was a rather intricate site supporting a grist mill, saw mill, shingle mill, carpenter shop, and planning mill. The grist mill was converted to a spool factory. The saw mill remained active until about 1869 when use of the site declined rapidly.

Site Characteristics: The mill was a large site loated on the east side of North River Road and south of Folly Lane Remnants remaining include a dam and dam site, the mill site, and tail races.

Picture shows foundations along the embankment. Other remnants noted are the head race and tail race.
